Jawbox - Chicago Piano lyrics

Show me one good, paper guarantee. Oh, my sweet promissory. Stern old men, make a bed for me. I'm more than ready. One more confirmation of a new low, but I'm wired shut; Just say so. Got word when the light pa**ed through; I'm more than ready. To give it back. Tight fist around a face out of history. Don't think I don't know what's over me. Over me with a numbing certainty. I'm more than ready. Duty bound to a guilt-fed guarantee. Good faith in the narrow path laid for me. Past time to declare sovereignty. I'm more than ready. To give it back.
